Drunk driving is often referred to as driving under the influence (DUI) or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). A staggering majority of vehicle related deaths is due to drunk drivers who selfishly impose immense risk on innocent motorists and civilians.

Understandably, California has some of the strictest drunk driving laws in the nation:

Under the age of 21, can not have beer, liquor or wine while driving alone (certain exceptions apply)

Under the age of 21, illegal to drive with a (BAC) blood alcohol level of .01 or higher

No tolerance rule for drivers under the age of 18. No blood alcohol level of any amount allowed.

RIGHTS FOR VICTIMS OF DRUNK DRIVERS

California allows victims to recover against drunk drivers both in criminal court and civil court.

In civil court, the victim or victim’s family can immediately pursue a claim for monetary damages. California law allows victims of drunk drivers to collect punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages for injuries sustained in an accident. In addition to pursuing a claim against the drunk driver, a victim can also pursue a claim against the establishment that provided the alcohol such as the restaurant/bar or lounge. Further, victims can also pursue claims against a host of a house/event party who knowingly provided alcohol to an individual knowing the individual was intoxicated.
